The WooCommerce Role-Based Pricing plugin has great tools and options to allow store managers to configure different prices for different products based on the user roles that buy from their stores. This means that when users want to order products from your site, the plugin will automatically display the specified product prices based on their user roles.
How to set different prices based on user role for a specific product
To quickly set different pricing by user role, follow the below steps:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard > iThemeland > Role Based Pricing.
- In the Rules tab, press the Add Rule button.
- In the Add rule form, fill in the following fields:
- Write a name for the new pricing rule in the Title field.
- Select as many products as you want to apply pricing rules, in the Select Products field.
- Scroll down to see the Role Based Pricing (By User Roles) section with a list of all user roles that you have already defined in WordPress.
- For one or more user roles set the following configurations:
- Adjustment type: choose one of the default options:
- Fixed price: To set a new price for the selected products.
- Fixed increase: To increase the current price of selected products by a fixed amount.

- Add a title: 20% discount for contributors.
- Select products: Cap and T-shirt products.
- Find Contributor in the Role Based pricing section and set the following:
- Choose Percentage decrease from the drop-down list of Adjustment type.
- Write 20 in the Value field.
- Press the Add Rule button.
As illustrated below, when contributors log in and decide to order Cap from the online shop, the plugin will show the price with a 20% discount.
